Gamer.no published an extensive interview with Taylor Danes, lead designer of Pirates of the Burning Sea. There's 5 pages of interesting stuff to read there, plus a whole lot of pictures (not sure if any of them are new or not...).

Gamer.no: Pirates of the Burning Sea has not been too much present in the media so far. Please tell us something about the game, what players can expect, and the goals you have set for release.

TD: It's a MMOG set in 1720 in the Caribbean. Each player is the captain of a sailing ship, free to chart his or her own destiny in the midst of war and intrigue.
